Adding an Updated JDBC Driver

When a JDBC driver configured using TIBCO Configuration Tool has an update, the updated driver has to be added to Administrator.

Procedure

  1. Create a feature for the driver. See Component Development for information.
  2. Put a file at a special location in the feature's path with the driver name and version
  3. Add the feature to the node. See Adding a Feature to a Node.
  4. Delete the resource instances that use this driver and re-create resource templates.
  5. Remove the old driver from all these nodes. See Removing Features from a Node.
  6. Choose one of the following options:
    • Reinstall all the resource instances created in Step 4. While reinstalling the resource instances you will be prompted to choose the driver feature.
    • Add the feature for the new driver. See Adding a Feature to a Node. Reinstall all the resource instances created in In Software Management, enable the new driver feature on all of the nodes and then Reinstall all of the RIs.

Result

The updated JDBC driver is now available for use in Administrator.
